Thanks! The video interviews one of the researcher who worked on this: Virtual Worlds: Real Leaders
http://www.ibm.com/ibm/gio/media/pdf/ibm_gio_gaming_report.pdf
But it will be much easier to show or get instructors/adminstrators to watch the video rather than reading the 34 page report!

Hey guys! VWBPE starts tomorrow, and what a better way to kick off the event than with a World of Warcraft tour led by our awesome students in the WoWinSchool Project. This tour starts at 8AM EST (5AM PST or Second Life Time). If you are interested in participating, don't forget to RSVP! You can find out more at - http://wrathfuldeity.wordpress.com/wow-tour-at-vwbpe/
